ADOLPH PIKE AND SIGMUN D SOHLESINGER, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS HANGER FOR GA'RMENTS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. i284,478, dated September 4, 1883.

Application filed February 21, 1883. (No modelfi Be it known that we, ADOLPH PIKE and SIGMUND SCHLESINGER, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hangers for Garments; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and

exact descriptionthereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to theletters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to loops for attachmentto the inner face of garments at the back of the neck by which to suspend them, and more particularly to metallic fastenings for securing the ends of such loops to the garment. Heretofore such metallic 'fastenings have been made with two metal disks, be-

tween whichthe cloth composing the garment is clamped, and which are secured together by a central shank, to one of which disks the ends of the loop are attached. This mode of fastening has been found objectionable,ifrom i the fact that the parts attached to the cloth are liable to become loosened by the movements of the loop in hanging up the garment. Such construction is especially objectionable when the disks mentioned are fastened together i by a screw-shank, in which case the parts are liable to become detached by the twisting ac tion of said loop.

The object of this inventionis to obviate the objections mentioned to the devices previously used, and also to provide a simple and cheap means for attaching the loop.

To these ends the invention consists, essentially, of two studs, which are attached to the garment, to which studs the ends of the loop are attached, the attachment being so formed that the loop is free to swing or rotate on said studs, as will be hereinafter more fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a-perspective view of a portion of a garment, showing our 145 improved hanger attached thereto. Fig. 2 is. a section through the. attaching devices for said loop.

V A is a flexible loop, illustrated in the drawings as being'made in the form of a metallic chain, but which may be of any other suitable strong and flexible material.

13 is a part of the coat or other garment to which the loopis secured.

' D is a stud having an enlarged portion, d,

and a shank, d. i

E and E are two disks or washers, which are placed on either side of the cloth, and which are provided with central apertures corresponding with an aperture formed.in the cloth, through which apertures and the cloth the shank d is passed when the stud D is secured to the garment. Theshoulder d formed Q by the enlarged portion 01 of the stud D,presses against the disk E upon one side of the cloth, andis secured to the disk E upon the other side, either by riveting or by a screw-thread on said shank. The disks E and E are forced together, so as to' clamp the cloth between them in the process of attaching the said stud D. A head, D, is formed on the enlarged projecting portion d ofthe stud D, and between said head D and the disk E is placed a ring or swivel, F, to which the loop A is secured.

In case the loop A is a chain, as shown, said loop may consist simply of an enlarged link constructed to encircle said stud; but usually said ring is composed of an eye, E, formed to fit the stud D, and provided with a ring, f, to

which the chain A is attached.

The object of the construction described is to provide a connection of the ends of the loop A with the cloth, in which there will be no tendencyto loosen the fastening device by the movement of the ends of said loop in its use. The eyes F being arranged to rotate freely upon the studs D, any tendency to rotate the fastening devices in relation to the cloth and thereby loosen them is entirely prevented.

The devices above described for the fastening of the loop to the garment are of such .a construction as to allow the hanger to be tion,with studs D, attached to the garment, of larged portion, 11, of the disks E and E, the a loop having its ends connected to said studs loop'A, and eyes F on the ends of said loop, so as to rotate thereon, substantially as deconstructed to rotate on said studs, substan- I 5 scribed. tially as and for the purpose set forth.
